Thanks for getting back to this! I know dealing with user complaints can be
tiring, and I appreciate the time you are taking. :)

Without that env var (i.e., out of the box), it looks even worse, and the
cursor is just as wrong. So qt5ct is not responsible for the cursor problem.

I have qt5-gtk-platformtheme installed. I have no idea if there's anything I am
expected to do beyond installing it, but it doesn't seem to help.

I'm not sure if I would call Debian a GNOME-focused distro. It's a "we have
everything" distro, isn't it? The Qt package can't know which DE I am using.

Obviously most KDE contributors use KDE as their DE so there's no reason why
they would care about how their apps look like on GNOME, and I can't blame them
for that, it's free software after all. But it is unfortunate that this means
mixing the best parts of GNOME and KDE is a lot more work than it should be. If
Qt aims to be "native" in every environment it is started in, I guess it would
be a Qt bug (or at least feature request) if Qt apps don't look native on GNOME
by default? It would certainly be a bug if Qt apps looked like this on Windows
or macOS...
